Bilateral giant angiomyolipoma of kidneys: a case report and review of literature

Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull. 2004 Dec;30(3):125-7.

Abstract

Angiomyolipoma is uncommon benign tumor of the kidney. Bilateral and multiple lesions are associated with tuberous sclerosis. We report a case with bilateral giant angiomyolipomas in a patient who had no other features of tuberous sclerosis. In this case, the involvement of the kidneys was diffuse rather than usual well-circumscribed lesions.
